I'm actually very impressed with the approach SE is taking to its phones these days. There's obviously a retro-minimalism involved here and if any of you pre-pubescent haters out there had any idea of design, you'd appreciate it. But I guess you're all too busy flipping thru the Tommy Hilfiger catalogs.
Morons!!!
I currently have the Ericsson T28z, Siemens S40, Motorola V70, TCC Q285 and the SE T68i with upgraded firmware (so I can use the digital zoom with my MCA-25 camera). To me, all these phones are functional and stylish (well, except for the V70; that was just a bad decision on my part :^) and I gotta tell you, I can't wait to buy this phone. Its elegant, its stylish and its loaded with so many useful features.
So...for all of you that are trying to come off as smart by saying stupid nonsense.
Wake up, or Get off.
Checkmate!!!

Another check, £350 with no contract.
Personally I thing the T610 looks sleek. An aquired taste maybe, but small, compact and better than the generic Nokias and the subsequently large and unwieldly designs. The only forthcoming designs that look good is the SX1 and Neonodes N1.
